About Gigs

At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly.

Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity.

Our team of around 100 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless.

If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.

Things We Care About

We are building in a highly complex space and tackling a massive problem. We want people who lean in when things get hard.

  • Speed. We move and we ship. We set bold deadlines and treat every week like it matters.
  • Ownership. If you see something broken, fix it. We don't wait for permission.
  • Customer Obsession. Our customers' product is our product.
  • Ambiguity. We're building frontier technology in a complex domain. You'll need sound judgement and good instincts to make decisions without complete information.
  • First principles. We don't ask how things have been done before. We ask why they were done that way at all.
The Role

Gigs is expanding into Brazil and this role sits right at the center of that buildout. We're at an exciting inflection point: the strategic groundwork has been laid, priorities are set, and we're now fast moving into execution mode across a wide range of complex workstreams. 

As Senior Business Operations Associate, you'll be the engine that makes this happen. You'll work directly with our Brazil lead to drive execution across multiple high-stakes, ambiguous tracks, context-switching between a business development negotiation, a product requirement, and a process design challenge, often on the same day.

This isn't a support role, it's a builder role. You'll own problems end to end, drive clarity where there isn't any, and move fast to deliver results that matter. If you're energized by early-stage markets, thrive in complexity, and want to be part of building something from the ground up in one of the world's most exciting telecom markets, this is the role.

What You Will Do
  • Drive the Brazil launch program - own the day-to-day execution of our most critical workstreams across commercial, legal, technical, and operational tracks, including finance, tax, compliance, CX, and SIM fulfillment. You'll keep things moving, hold stakeholders accountable, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks..
  • Solve complex, ambiguous problems - take ill-defined challenges, structure them, and turn them into clear paths forward. You'll be the person who figures out what needs to happen and makes it happen.
  • Coordinate across internal and external stakeholders - act as the connective tissue between Gigs' global teams (Product, Engineering, Finance, Legal, Operations) and our local partner, keeping everyone aligned and accountable.
  • Build operational processes from scratch - design, adapt, and implement scalable workflows for new (local) business processes, from SIM inventory management to tax compliance and customer support.
  • Support commercial and financial decisions - prepare analysis, business cases, and briefing materials that help leadership make fast, well-informed calls.
  • Identify and close gaps - proactively surface risks, blockers, and inefficiencies before they become problems, and come with a proposed solution.
What We Are Looking For
  • 6–10 years of experience in business operations, strategy & operations, product operations, management consulting, or a similarly high-performance environment, ideally with some exposure to early-stage or high-growth environments.
  • A bias for action - you don't wait for perfect information. You structure the problem, make a call, and move. You're just as comfortable in a spreadsheet as you are in a room full of ambiguity.
  • Strong business judgment - you can connect the dots across commercial, operational, and product dimensions and understand what actually matters.
  • Some product sensibility - you understand how technical systems work well enough to be a credible interlocutor with engineering teams and to help shape operational requirements.
  • Excellent communication - clear, concise, and confident across written and verbal formats. You can align a room of senior stakeholders or write a crisp one-pager without much help.
  • Entrepreneurial and accountable - you take ownership. When something's yours, it gets done. You treat problems like a founder would.
  • Based in São Paulo - this is a hybrid role but requires regular in-person presence.
  • Portuguese fluency required; strong English is essential for working with our global team.
